Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Polk County, GACounty

The office. The GDVS's find-an-office list carries one row naming Polk: "Cedartown - Polk - 142 West Ave. Cedartown, GA 30125". The Cedartown page: "Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are accepted as time permits." The contacts: "Veterans Service Officer and Manager Tomeika Johnson ... (770) 749-2209" and "Veterans Service Officer Steve Rood ... (770) 749-2209", each at 142 West Ave. Hours: "Monday - Friday: 09:00 a.m. - 04:30 p.m." - closed Saturday and Sunday, all Eastern. The county hosts it. The Board of Commissioners' minutes of March 3, 2026 record the board renewing "the lease agreement with the Department of Veteran Services effective July 01, 2026 with automatic renewal annually for up to five (5) years", a "token lease in the amount of $10.00 annually": "The Department of Veteran Services occupy the old drive thru building in the parking lot beside the Annex Building." The motion by Vice Chairman Michael Gravett, seconded by Commissioner Linda Liles, passed unanimously - the State's claims office sits on county property, an Polk veteran can walk to it from downtown Cedartown. See the Georgia State entries for the claims the GDVS files. The county's own record. No separate county veterans service office appears on the county site: polkga.org's department lists name the Tax Assessor, the Tax Commissioner, the courts and the rest, and no veterans line.
